He said shipping would be $20 (I think Parcel Post)

I did a serach and his thread, he accepts paypal(but not verified)
He only has ebay, and he is new to the forums

I will not ship until I get the money,
will it be better if I get a MO?

if i was you, I would stay away, far away, regradless if he was from Israel or Japan of Africa! There are too many willing, legit, happy verified paypal buyers in the United States that I would rather deal with. Just my 2 cents.

i wouldnt do it. the bank can still take the money out of your account after they issue it to you for a fraudulent MO. stay away.

Tell him to send you cash w/ Western Union, then run away like you're a Nigerian scammer.

I think you can do that at check and cash, or even 711. But they take a huge cut off the MO.

You have all of the signs of someone just begging to get ripped off. Crappy product, to high of a price, the only person who cares about your crap is from overseas, and you are desperate to sell...

I once shipped something to Israel and it never got delivered... a few months later it came back. I hate shipping internationally.

i wouldnt ship anything internationally, period. shipping hassles like something getting lost, or broken, or payment hassles such as taking time to guarantee funds on anything just isnt worth the hassle when you can knock 5 or 10% off and be done with the deal in under a week.
